A great place
This is a great ground floor one bedroom apartment, ideal for 1 or 2 people for a week or two. It is well furnished with everything available that you would have in your own house. The owner left us a very good welcome pack and her instructions on how to operate everything were excellent. There is a good wi-fi connection available and you can stream in all uk tv programs from your laptop The outside pool area is very private,clean and gardens well maintained Its within easy walking distance of Kato Paphos/harbour etc, also a nice bar and Grill (Pambis) is perhaps 200 metres door to door.Minimarket just across the road for most things you may need. I would certainly use this apartment again.

Beautiful, homely apartment on quiet complex
Andrea has thought of everything & she is so helpful. This apartment is beautifully decorated & very well equipped, the pool is glorious and every word in her description is true. The complex is quiet, but only a short leisurely walk from the amenities & the Harbour. There are two shops to stock up with very close by & an eaterie, whether you are a sun worshipper, or just want to get away from it all, this is the apartment for you, I couldn't recommend better!

A home from home in a quiet, excellently maintained little complex
The apartment and facilities are exactly as described. Everything you could need in a holiday apartment is there, and a bar/restaurant and 2 shops really are just across the road. Andrea is exceptionally helpful in organising things for you before you go, and it is really nice, particularly if you arrive late, to be provided with a proper 'welcome pack' of the essentials; milk, bread, tea, coffee, juice, butter etc. We were there at what seemed to be the end of the season with some places shutting up for the winter. Things were therefore pretty quiet, and parts of Paphos were looking a bit tired and as if they were struggling; whether as a result of it just being the end of the season, the general economic situation or the impact of all the new all inclusive resorts to the south of the harbour area - which seemed to be flourishing. The weather however was fantastic, and to be swimming everyday in either the complex pool or the sea at the end of October/beginning of November isn't to be sniffed at! A really good holiday. And great value.

Already rebooked for 2016, says it all, simply the best.
We always use apartments for our holidays some good some quite good but this is in the fantastic. No need to take any extras. Wifi excellent ,saved us a fortune (skype and emails) no need for data roaming on the mobile. Its not just the apartment that as to be taken into consideration but also the outside, the location, facilities out side and of course the facilities close by. Apartment, clean and very comfortable with a lovely arrival pack, to save that mad dash for the tea, coffee etc. The surrounding garden and pool area clean and relaxing giving the terrace (where we spent a lot of our time relaxing and eating) a nice degree of privacy. Local bus service cheap and reliable. Local Taverna and shops. We loved it all, it was a comfortable relaxing holiday, so we booked again to avoid disappointment.

Perfect holiday all round
Very pleasant apartment, clean and well equipped. Two mini supermarkets just over the road and a very good restaurant/bar opposite. 20 mins easy walk to the harbour.

Susan O April 2015Apr 2015

Holiday Heaven
The apartment was very clean, very comfortable and extremely well equipped. Being on the ground floor it provided easy access to the pool. There was a diner and two small supermarkets across the road and the bus stop was a short walk away. The only thing missing is the sea view but my partner and I had a very enjoyable holiday in this accommodation and would certainly go back again.

We were so lucky to stay here for part of our honeymoon. Myself and my newly wed husband were thrilled to stay here with our 10month old son. Could not fault the accommodation what so ever. The owner was nothing less than fabulous. The apartment had everything you could possibly need for our stay in paphos. Beautiful rooms and the bed - so comfy cant remember the last time we slept so well. The pool was literally in front of our apartment with gorgeous trees alongside the pathway down. Like I sat everything was done to a comfortable and high standard which made it feel welcoming and homey.
It was a small but lovely complex with everyone being so welcoming and friendly. Close by to a lovely little place to eat, they also do take away too! Which comes in handy for those lazy evenings.
Not far to walk into paphos town or the harbour or a very short drive. Either way was handy with a pushchair.
Definitely will be booking again to stay here (unless our family expands again beforehand!!)
My parents who are elderly thought it was an exceptionally wonderful apartment. Very good value for money. They loved coming round and spending time on beautiful terrace over looking the pool. Good for any mobility.
There is nothing I can say thats negative about diana 49. Through and through wonderful place to stay for anyone of any age.

Barry October 2012Oct 2012

We stayed in this apartment in early October 2012 the weather was fantastic (25/29deg) day (20/25deg)night just what we wanted from the dreary weather in the UK, The apartment was very good with all you could ask for, we stayed for one week and ate out nearly all the time (I wanted it to be a holiday for us both) so we did not use some of the cooking facilities in the apartment, but there would be no problem if you was to live there for months as the apartment had everything you would need.
The best thing I personally liked was the pool, the apartment has a fantastic aspect of the pool, were you could sit out on the patio in the morning to have breakfast, then mid morning as the sun was coming round go for a nice long swim, the pool is ideal for people learning to swim as it is only waste deep at the shallow end and chin deep at the deep end, also around the pool area we felt it was for our sole use as with it been October it was not very busy.
We found this apartment to be just what we wanted a easy 20 min walk to the beach and main tourist areas (you need some exercise with all the lazing in the sun) quite with very little noise anytime of the day, a Taverner/bar (serves great food and large portions) and a Kiosk (small corner shop) just over the road, a bus stop just further down the road, all fares on the buses are 1 euro and they are new and air conditioned.
All in all it was a great week with fantastic weather great apartment and pool, a good welcome pack waiting for us, and contact with Andrea the owner was first class, thank you for letting us use your apartment Andrea and I would certainly recommend it to everyone.

Absolutely fantastic! This ground floor, well cared for apartment is the perfect holiday retreat for someone looking for a place close to all amenities, yet away from the hassle and bustle of town. It opens onto a terrace with private pathway to the pool making it extremely convenient for young families. The apartment is equipt with all that one requires for a comfortable stay.
I only have the most positive comments to say about Andrea, the owner of the apartment,. who went out of her way to make our stay and arrival comfortable. There were no let downs, everything was as advertised. The welcome pack upon arrival was a warm touch to making us feel at home, thank you!!
